The Fox News contributor on how the Georgia Senate races are the 'last line of defense for conservative values.'
This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
The country need you badly
here to break it down. Former
White House beta chief of Staff,
Fox NEWS contributor, Karl Rove
ive, read that you might be
involved in some fund raising
efforts there
if you are good youre good at
that
youre good at a lot of things,
break it down for us Karl
well, I am involved the
national chairman of the Joint
fund committee between the
Purdue campaign and the Kelly
Loeffler Campaign and the
republican Senatorial Committee,
the full disclosure. I am deeply
involved-
lets not kid ourselves.
This is a real race.
Biden won the state of Georgia,
so Republicans cant take it for
granted.
Democrats demographics change
its increasingly people from
out of younger people, more
liberal people,
Stacey Abrams. She has spent
they what you will about her.
She spent tens of millions of
other peoples money to build up
a giant GEO tv machine and its
revved up and going in the votes
start on December. Seventh, when you
can mail in ballots and then
Chuck Schumer he wants to, he
has spent every think about
this spent eighty four dollars million to try
and defeat Lindsey Graham
spent ungodly month of money,
similar amount of money to
defeat Mitch. Mcconnell,
you dont, think, is going to pour
money into the state.
So those of the advantages the
Democrats have.
On the other hand, we have some
advantages:
Purdue with eighty seven thousand votes ahead
of Jon Ossoff and only failed to
get fifty percent because there was a
libertarian candidate.
Libertarians are not going to
come out and vote for the
socialist. Let me tell you that
we got Republicans in the jungle
primary.
If the republican candidates
outnumber the democratic
candidates and the winner of the
Democrat Sweepstakes there
Raphael Warnock ran behind what
people anticipated, he would run
best advantage.
These Democrats are on the left,
particularly Warnock.
This guys, like you, cant
serve God in the military.
If youre in the military you
cant serve God
I mean socialism is getting a
bad word. Youth minister hosted
Fidel Castro
as it Minister in Atlanta hosted
Reverend Jeremiah Wright and
then, when his anti semitic
comments came out, defended him.
This guy is a lefty in favor of
any Nostra in the Bernie Sanders,
Playbook and then GEO Tv.
Both these candidates, David
Perdue, who you just saw and
Kelly Loeffler, both understand
they are building a state of the
art, get out the vote operation
using lots of Georgians and
plenty of volunteers coming in
from outside of the state.
And, finally, the argument that
Senator Perdue laid out
the only way to rein in the
excesses of a democratic
White House and the Democratic
House of Representatives is to
have a republican Senate.
He put it right.
This is the last line of defense
for conservative values.
If we dont control have a
republican majority in the U Dot S
Senate, then they are going to
have come. As you said earlier, a
clear path to this nutty agenda,
get rid of the sixty vote. Rule
pass every nutting, Ostrom and
lock in a governing democratic
left majority for decades to
come
so money marbles and chalk. As we
say in Texas,
two things: im,
not it got to give Stacey
Abrams credit.
She has built up a powerful
mail in ballot. You know force
for the Democrats,
the Republicans ready to match
that number one
number two: how are Georgians
going to react to? Oh, we just
found six thousand ballots this week
and the mask that has been
created down there.
I think a lot of them are
probably ticked off.
Do they feel disenfranchised
and
want to throw their hands up or
are they motivated cant get to
the polls soon enough?
Well, the Republicans are
going to build a big get out the
vote machine.
They briefed me on it.
Theyve already begun. People
started
as big a Stacey
Abrams,
because shes got over six hundred thousand
ready to go
well, she may have come up
with the Republicans are heading
for bigger numbers and ive got
to tell you. Theyve got to do
some catch up because shes been
spending whats interesting
is tax. Free dollars,
shes been doing political work
with tax free dollars for years,
when I think in violation of the
law, but she is now the
supposedly nonpartisan voter
registration get out the vote
effort and put it into a
partisan context.
There were all kind of problems
with that, but the Republicans
are going to have a good machine
to get out the vote, but you put
your finger on it.
How do people feel
are people going to say you
know what I voted for
Donald Trump? He didnt win
reelection. He didnt carry our
state im staying home. Are
they going to say? I voted for
Donald Trump because I believed
in a conservative agenda and I
want that agenda advanced. I
dont want it demolished.
I dont want what he has done an
office to be. You know the
tax cuts, the policy put in
place, the conservative
judges I dont want that
wiped out and im going to turn
out and vote and thats going
to be the message that David
Purdue and Kelly Loeffler are
going to have to get across here
in the next forty some odd days, forty
days, forty seven days,
im not trying to be
insulting. Do they have the
right team in place
and im asking honestly because
theres no time enough to play
around here,
do they have our best people
behind the scenes that do the
best ads the best ability to
get mail in votes and build up
that base and get people to the
polls? Gimmick. Are you confident
you know what one of the
things that happened as they
both took a look at their
operations and said you know
what we did good, but we can do
better and they brought new
people in they brought their
teams together.
There are a bunch of adults down
there, which I really like
you get in a situation like this
and a lot of times, theres so
much pressure, and so much
controversy and people start
going up against each other,
sharp elbows start going, and
then you start seeing it being
leaked to the press. This guys,
an idiot that guy is not. This
person is really good. That
person is not
none of that.
Instead, what youre seeing is a
group of adults who say you
know what we were in a tough
fight in November. We are going
to be in a bigger fight in
January.
We need help, and so they
brought people in will have the
confidence not only of the
candidates but of their
colleagues and im, pretty
optimistic that its going to be
a hard fight, but I think we can
prevail.
You got things given
coming.
You got Christmas week
new years week and then you
come back on Monday. You vote on
Tuesday
start voting right better
than that start voting by mail
right now
in the early voting
Getz get to the polls, because
the last thing we want as an ice
storm on January fifth in North
Georgia and all those good
republican voters not able to
get to the polls so that your
mail ballot send it in
immediately go to the poll when
they open up early get your
vote cast
thank that vote before election
day thats exactly what the
Democrats are doing. The
Republicans better do the same.
